When I was a child, I didn't understand that episode as Data demonstrating his superiority at the game by deliberately keeping it evenly-matched, or that the alien opponent somehow realized that Data could win at any time and simply chose not to.

Rather, I figured Data had come up with some hitherto-unknown strategy that allowed for making the game arbitrarily long; and that the alien had a choice between deliberately losing, accidentally losing (the way the game is depicted, it gets more complex the longer you play) or continuing to play (where an android wouldn't be limited by biology). (No, I didn't phrase my understanding like that, or speak it aloud.)
There are multiple factors, all pointing in the direction of complexity.

Avoiding the hard challenges of design at any cost is certainly a factor. I've seen design demonized as waterfall, and replaced by seat-of-the-pants planning almost universally. "Design" is the opposite of "Agile" in some minds.

Time crunches and the "move fast and break things" mentality results in broken things (shocked!). Keeping a sub-optimal system running smoothly requires an investment in complex workarounds.

Customers will always bias towards new features, new buzzwords, and flashy aesthetics. They don't innately understand the benefits of simplicity - they assume more/new is better.

Software developers want to keep up with the rapid pace of technical change; they are intrinsically motivated to adopt newer technologies to avoid getting stuck on a dying career path. New technologies almost always layer on new abstractions and new dependencies - increased complexity is almost guaranteed.

Finally, we're advancing the state of the art of what computation can achieve. Pushing the boundaries of inherent complexity is effectively the stated goal.

All factors steer us towards ever-increasing technical complexity. It takes a force of nature (or really abnormally disciplined, principled engineers) to swim upstream against this current.
DCA in my understanding is automatically investing a fixed amount at fixed intervals. E.g. $100/month, or whatever. The amount and interval aren't all that critical. The point is to do it automatically and not try to time the market.

Yes I also have heard the advice to dollar cost average a lump sum, not so much in the scenario of a rollover of an existing investment, but when a large amount of cash has become available for some reason. I guess the theory there is you won't risk putting it all in at a market high point. If you average it in over a year in a declining market, you're better off. If you average it in to a rising market you're worse off than if you had invested it all up front. Trying to guess which of these scenarios is going to happen is trying to time the market. I'm sure people have done the research -- intuitively, if you're investing for the long term, better to put it all in at once. But there are probably risk tolerance considerations.
I grew up watching yan can cook and uncle Rodger struck me at how inauthentic it is. It feels exactly how you described.
Ah yeah I remember poking at that. I should review it again. I think at the time it felt like a bit of a hack, but maybe some features of the past years of TS updates have helped.

If I were to guess, I'd say the output of an LLM isn't copyrightable (it's not the creation of a human), unless it's a verbatim copy of some copyrighted training data in which case it belongs to the authors of the work(s) used in training. This creates the most annoying combination of legal problems around using it, so by Murphy's Law it must be correct!

You can rebuild modern engines by boring out the block and installing a sleeve of the same block material and coating material, it’s just a lot more expensive.

I've noticed so many "common knowledge" things being anchored into the past, especially as I age - and especially for vehicles.

The "rotting frames and body panels" thing was certainly common where I'm from when I grew up, but these days it's very normal to see 20+ year cars on the road with very little salt related damage. I have a 2007 Acura MDX that is stored outside for the past 8 years, never washed by my parents who I gifted it to, and driven through some of the worst winter road conditions possible. Visiting in the winter you'd think it was a grey vehicle (it's black) from all the salt spray adhered to it which stays on until it's driven in the rain come springtime.

It shows utterly zero frame or body rust even today. I expect the rubber seals and such to fail before anything else. This is pretty much the norm.

Cars are not made like they were in the 1980's and 90's any more. The coatings and type of materials are vastly different and improved. There are certainly models out there that have problems and you can get unlucky, but it's no longer a rule of thumb.

It's not just vehicles though. It's pretty much endemic to all things. People get anchored to their "formative years" and then never update their priors. I assume it takes a generation or two for such things to die off and the "common knowledge" to be updated. EV battery tech will be one of these things - we will be anchored to the common tropes that were true for first and second generation vehicles but no longer are for quite a long time.

> Theoretically, microservices allow for each team to deploy independently

You can still do that with a monolithic codebase. A Google team published a related paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3593856.3595909

> When writing a distributed application, conventional wisdom says to split your application into separate services that can be rolled out independently. This approach is well-intentioned, but a microservices-based architecture like this often backfires, introducing challenges that counteract the benefits the architecture tries to achieve. Fundamentally, this is because microservices conflate logical boundaries (how code is written) with physical boundaries (how code is deployed).

I see what you're saying for sure. but at the end of the day, allowing inmates to have jobs both takes pressure off of the cost/budget for their incarceration, and simultaneously is drastically lowering the likelihood that those inmates will return (and cost more taxpayer $).

I guess what I mean is, they can't end up squeezing prisoners any more than they already are: in many places 8 hour prison jobs paying less than 50 cents a day, when a phone call costs $3.00+ an hour and a single ramen noodle costs $2.00+.

That stuff significantly contributes to the prison mentality and group-think mindset of 'the authorities are your enemy'. Even if you don't come in with that mentality, after being surrounded by it in conditions like that, you'll very likely be brainwashed by the time you leave and the cycle unfortunately begins.
Thanks for trying this out! I think I should add keyboard shortcuts in general to tailor this game to desktop.
I am not bothered by the new UI/UX at all. Bitwarden still does what I need it to after many years of use. The major features are all working for me.

I also use 1Password, which has many more features. If "modernizing" Bitwarden is part of an attempt to make extra features easier to implement, then it's a good thing IMO.

Perhaps security-minded users are also more stubborn and less tolerant of change due to the already high levels of friction added by any attempt to be more secure. Also, for example, we can tolerate change in creativity software because at the end of the day the result is a pleasing dopamine release. When the result is just a working password manager, the satisfaction is often not enough to offset the growing pains.

But he explicitly mentions books. That contrast makes it interesting. I assume that he is explicitly fine with text content.

And then he does not mention the web in general (or even Reddit - it wouldn't be worth more than an eyeroll to me), but YouTube.

On the one hand, yeah, well, the web was probably in a better shape in the past. (And YT even is a major aspect of that, imho, but anyways...) On the other hand, you really must be a die hard YT fanatic to only mention that single website (which by the way is mostly video clips, and has all the issues of the entire web), instead of just the web.

It's really well outside of the sphere of my imagination. The root cause of my reply wasn't even disagreement at first, but surprise and confusion.
I do think - my pet theory - there is two sorts of « good » code :

- The solo programmer’s code : it’s smart, small, straightforward, does what it needs to do and it benefits from being able to fit in the author’s head but it would be a team’s nightmare, hard to add unanticipated features.

- The team’s code : it’s verbose, full of boilerplate, follows strict programming patterns and rules, is easier to modify/add features. Anyone in the team can add or maintain parts but give it to a solo programmer and it would become a nightmare to just maintain.

For a long time in my career, I opposed the two. Being too straightforward and not strict enough in a team setting is often a recipe for disaster in the long term. In the contrary, being too professional in your solo project is often the way to abandon it.

Being able to write those two types of code is an incredible skill - that I mostly don’t have.
If i pay a consultant to write code out generally belongs to me. Why would a tool like an llm be any different if you are a paying customer. If you are on the free model shrug….

>Doesn't the board get filled up with stones?

To some extent, but a player who's way ahead could still have a lot of latitude to play pointless moves without endangering the win. In the case of Go it's generally not so much "delaying winning" as just embarrassing the opponent by playing obviously suboptimal moves (that make it clearer that some key group is dead, for example).

Although it's possible to start irrelevant, time-wasting ko positions - if the opponent accepts the offer to fight over them.

> It’s so much safer, especially for a woman,” she said in a phone interview this month. “You’re not getting in the car with some strange man.”

Sorry, but this just doesn't paas the sniff test. Why do so many young people now assume that everyone in the world is out there to "get" them? How many of these conflicts can be resolved with a simple conversation? Young people decry the modern loneliness epidemic and come back with statements like this?

Oh?
Depends how old it is. Our second-hand electric van was owned by the dealer as a demo model and only driven 900km. That’s as good as new as far as I was concerned, and cost 2/3 of the price of a brand new model.

A good battery test (that can detect ‘juicing’) will only cost a few hundred dollars - it’s just part of your pre-inspection reports, like you’d do for any second-hand vehicle.
Don't forget climate, which is brutal on battery usage if you live somewhere with four seasons.

Doesn't MCTS deeply AND broadly search though?

Traditional MCTS searches all the way to endgame and estimates how the current position leads to either win or loss. I'm not sure what the latest and greatest is but those % chance to win numbers are literally a search result over possible endgames IIRC.

I guess I'd assume that MCTS should see ladders and play at least some of them out.
Sure, you can make artisan cars and artisan indoor plumbing. This will not be available to the masses, however, without the economies of scale that come with big business.

You could also make artisan steel before the big steel industry. About all you could do with it was make swords and a suit of armor at terrific expense.

> of it being possible to manufacture goods at what would be far closer to "mom and pop" scale today.

Before the industrial revolution, 90% of the population worked on the farm, and famine was still a regular occurrence. There was no available work force to create artisan cars and artisan indoor plumbing for the masses. Nor was there food to feed them.

Some years ago, I toured Jefferson's Monticello mansion and estate. In the back yard there was a nailery, where the slaves operated a small forge and hammered out nails, one by one. Today you can just buy a box of nails for a few dollars, thanks to big steel and the nail making machining requiring little additional labor. I don't know how many nails could be made in a day's work by an artisan, but I doubt it is that many, and it's cost you at least $150 for that box of nails.

Nails were so valuable in those days people would burn houses down just to get the nails.

I had my roof replaced a year ago. After the roofers left, I spent a fair amount of time combing the yard to get all the discarded nails out of it. The nails were so cheap it was not worth anyone's time to pick them up. (I picked them up because I didn't want to step on them. I did anyway, driving the nail nearly through the sole of my shoe.)
Whenever I finish a software project and return to electrical engineering, where I have to worry about parasitic capacitance, inductance, thermal noise, propagation delays, and pages of datasheets for something as simple as a single transistor, I realize how much easier and more satisfying electrical engineering is than programming, where I have to deal with truly unpredictable phenomena like libraries, APIs, and development environments so bloated they make Quartus and Vivado seem fast.

It turns out quantum mechanics and pages of empirical analysis are a plus, because they are well documented and everything behaves as expected. When I program, I spend more time reverse engineering other software, to try and make sense of the lacking, outdated, and often outright incorrect documentation than I spend writing my own software. I can't spend any extended period of time doing that and still keep my sanity.
Ownership of software never made any sense to begin with. We should abandon such a concept as belonging to the dark ages.

The difference between you and I is that when I encounter a blunt, ad hominem smear like this (noticed the unsourced formulation "A colleague says ...", in the same way that Trump says things like "People say she's a Marxist" to cheering crowds), I tend to go, "Okay, another vitriolic rant. Am I going to have time to finish ploughing through this? Probably not."

Scandinavia is different from the United States so I'm not going to automatically assume that something that works for them would work in the United States. There are also highly retributive societies, such as Singapore, that have excellent crime and safety results. Does that convince you that more retribution is needed? If not, why should I pay attention to Scandinavia but not Singapore?

> I think one of the biggest mistakes [...] we see ourselves as something greater than animals and other things.

That's not the issue. The problem is that we're teaching laypeople that these systems are ahead of where they actually are. This leads to fear, malinvestment, over-regulation, and a whole host of other bad outcomes.

We need to have honest conversations about the capabilities of these systems now and into the future, but the communication channels are being flooded by hypesters, doomsayers, and irrelevant voices.

> He buys back in at what ended up being the absolute nadir of the market in like april 2020 or something. The rare success story of timing the market, you love to see it.

The stock market usually goes down faster than it goes up, which makes it slightly easier (well, less difficult anyway) to time the bottoms than to time the tops.
Of course, complexity isn't intentionally introduced for sales.

What happens is that features new features are added willi-nilli and these take priority over the quality of the overall product - see the triumph of MS Office in the 90s and many other situations of software companies competing.

And the companies have their priorities and their hiring and management reflects these priority even if it's just implicit in what's done. Especially, if you let older software engineers go and push the youger workforce constantly with constant fire-drills etc, and , no one will be "capable of good design" but why should they be?
